  • Microsoft FrontPage 97 for Windows with Bonus Pack
  • Microsoft FrontPage for Windows 1.0
  • Microsoft FrontPage for Windows 1.1
This article was previously published under Q147443

SYMPTOMS

If you browse a form, such as the Feedback.htm file by opening the form as a local file, and then click the Submit button, you get the following error message:
Could not open file
C:\content\<webname>\_vti_bin/shtml.exe/feedback.htm.

CAUSE

The file is opened as a file; that is, it is not being accessed on the server. Since it is not being accessed on the server, the server extensions (shtml.exe) are not accessible to the local files and they cannot be processed. The background processing will occur only for files located on a Web were the Personal Web Server or the FrontPage Server Extensions are installed.

RESOLUTION

Open the file by specifying the Uniform Resource Locator (URL), like this:

http://<machinename>/<webname>/feedback.htm
